The daughter of Cuban President Raúl Castro, sexologist Mariela Castro, has been denied permission to travel outside the New York area when she attends a series of United Nations meetings next month.
The younger Castro, director of Cuba’s National Center for Sex Education and an outspoken defender of gay rights and same-sex marriage, received a U.S. visa to attend several gatherings at U.N. headquarters in Manhattan.
But she will be subject to the same limits as all Cuban diplomats assigned to the United Nations — no travel more than 25 miles from Columbus Circle, which is located in Manhattan near Central Park, without advance permission.
The Cuban government imposes similar restrictions on U.S. diplomats in Havana — no travel outside the province of Havana without special permission from the Ministry of Foreign Relations.
